Hi, I have a numpy newbie question. I want to store a huge amount of data in an array. This data come from a measurement setup and I want to write them to disk later since there is nearly no time for this during the measurement. To put some numbers up: I have 2*256*2000000 int16 numbers which I want to store. I tried
data1 = numpy.zeros((256,2000000),dtype=int16) data2 = numpy.zeros((256,2000000),dtype=int16) This works for the first array data1. However, it returns with a memory error for array data2. I have read somewhere that there is a 2GB limit for numpy arrays on a 32 bit machine but shouldn't I still be below that? I use Windows XP Pro 32 bit with 3GB of RAM. If someone has an idea to help me I would be very glad. Thanks in advance.
